REQUIREMENTS FOR 1953

Basis and purpose. The revised de termination set forth below is made pur suant to section 201 of the Sugar Act of 1948. The act requires that the Sec retary shall revise the determination of sugar requirements at such times during the calendar year as may be necessary.
It now appears that an increase in the estimate of requirements for the cal endar year 1953 is necessary. The pur pose of this revision is to make such determination conform to the require ments indicated on the basis of the fac tors specified in section 201 of the act.
Immediate availability of a part of the additional supply of sugar provided by this determination of sugar require ments is necessary to insure orderly mar keting and to maintain a continuous and stable supply of sugar at prices that are not excessive to cdnsumers. Therefore, in order effectively to carry out the pur poses of the Sugar Act, it is necessary that the revision of the determination be made effective as soon as possible.
Accordingly, it is hereby determined and found that compliance with the notice, procedure and effective date require ments of the Administrative Procedure Act 60 Stat. 237; 5 U. S. C. 1001 is im practicable and contrary to the public interest, and the revision of the deter mination made herein shall be effective on the date of its publication in the F ederal R e g is t e r .

By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of Agriculture by the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, and the Ad ministrative Procedure Act, Sugar Regu lation 811, the determination of the amount of sugar needed to meet the re quirements of consumers in the con tinental United States for 1953 17 F. R.
11155; 18 F. R. 2125, 4399 is hereby re vised to read as follows;

811.5 Sugar requirements, 1953.
The amount of sugar needed to meet the requirements of consumers in the con tinental United States for the calendar year 1953 is hereby determined to be 8,100,000 short tons, par value.
Statement of bases and considerations.
Distribution of sugar by primary distrib utors during January-September of this year totaled approximately 6,445,000
tons, or about 128,000 tons more than during the same period in 1952. I f dis tribution during October-December equals that during the same period last year, the total for the year will be ap proximately 8,200,000 tons. However, trade reports suggest that industrial users built up inventories during Sep tember in anticipation of the longshore mens strike. Should these inventories be reduced during the last three months of the year, distribution during that pe riod might not equal that during the same period last year.
The price of raw sugar, duty paid, at New York during July-September ha?
ranged between 6.35 and 6.45 cents per pound. This price averaged 6.32 cents per pound for the first nine months of the year, compared to 6.23 cents during the first nine months of 1952.
The quoted wholesale price of refined sugar at New York was increased on July 20, 1953, from 8.75 to 8.85 cents per pound, and for the first nine months averaged 8.75 cents per pound compared to 8.57 cents during January-September, 1952.
The distribution and price situation makes it apparent that the existing de mand for sugar at prices fair to both producers and consumers requires an in crease in the determination of sugar re quirements. Accordingly, sugar require ments for 1953 are established at 8,100,000 short tons, raw value.
